GOOD TOMOKI!

 

[auser]

Aww, Tomaki celebrating at the end of his skate. Well done.

 

[yelyoh]

Well color me shocked. Look who peaked at Nats. Under the radar Tomoki. We still have the FS to go but.... I think best Sp from him ever.

 

[Lamente Ariane]

I’d almost counted him out and I’m so glad to be proven wrong

 

[maofan]

Tomoki was on fire!

 

[ramurphy2005]

I'm so happy for Tomoki.

 

[auser]

Other than the 4T, the elements looked to be completed adequately, but not with great flair. I think the GOE hovers around base for most of them, and that's about right.

But this is a big step in the right direction for him.

The Development team is hamming it up, which I almost think is a basic skating requirement. Spoke to Timmy Chapman earlier to congratulate him. Just such a class act. He was also on the Jumbotron.

Just into first

Who is this Matthew Nielsen of the beautiful spins? I see Misha there at the boards. Hmm...he's beautiful.

I know I really like his style. I saw him in JGP was impressed with his line even then. I really hope that he can learn the quads, but if not I really would like him consider pairs. He certainly has the height for it and I would hate for him just to quit. Quads are not end all and be all of skating and he has a gift that would see more of.

 

[labgoat]

Into the lead

 

[momrk]

Two more til Jason... just saying

 

[lariko]

Malinin! go, kid!

Tomoki. I did not withdraw skate. Great skate.

Why did people believe he had withdrawn, was he injured?
